Murder Mysterium - Day 4

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower
When: TBD - Day 2

[ When morning comes, you find yourselves more than freed from your rooms—you're completely kicked out of the mansion. You may access the twin garden mazes, encouraged, even—there are alcoves in the gardens with flowers wrapping around the gates that are to your unit's color, and upon entering them you'll be able to speak to your unitmates without fear of being overheard, as though there were some sort of soundproofing barrier. You may only enter your unit-specific alcove. There are also plenty of other non-unit specific alcoves for you to enter and converse with someone, but it won't be entirely private—these pockets don't have soundproofing. Players should comment to relevant private threads that are being eavesdropped.

But before you run off to discuss, you'll want to gather around the fountain (mind the executed bodies). Its water's stopped, though rather than any stillness in water you can instead see . . . murder.

The details of each murder, as well as the rules, are available on your phones, and in fact, that and the photos app are the only things you can access on your phone right now. Your powers are off too, although you were allowed to bring whatever items are ordinarily on your person—provided they aren't any weapons. ]

It seems they are attempting to make this game even more violent.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess we weren't dropping off fast enough for em.

[leaveofabsence]

. . .

It seems that some units are organizing in order to find a loophole in the rules.

Do you think we should join them?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I talked it over with Tsukasa, some. Sounds like Avante's in if we are.

[leaveofabsence]

I don't believe we have much to lose at this point.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... we could be looking at a TPK, but I think I'm cool with risking it, if it means we got a chance at the other way, too.

[leaveofabsence]

It seems we'll be picked off one by one due to poor luck if we decide to do nothing at all.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... yeah. Pretty much.

You in favor, then?

[leaveofabsence]

I am.

Better to stand and fall together than be complacent in this.

[crossmyheartandhope]

New girl's worried about what might happen if someone don't opt in, sounds like.

[childeishly]

[ slides up along side him and then bumps shoulders with him. ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He attempts at least a small smile (though honestly it probably is not very reassuring considering that he's now had three rounds of papercuts at this point). ]

Ah, Caeli. I am glad you are not hurt.

[childeishly]

...the hell has happened to you?! [ he takes his hand and keeps a hold as he starts looking him all over. ] Xiansheng???

[leaveofabsence]

Ah, this?

[ And he rubs at a scratch on his cheek irritably. ]

We have been entering the same room with the same weapon with another unit each round. You cannot leave the room without injury in that case.

Do not fret. It is more annoying than anything.

[childeishly]

... [ stares. squints. and then just gets irritable. ] Don't fret? feh. You'd think I'd need to watch out for other units targeting Heart, but you guys just constantly target yourselves. Are you guys okay? Like, really, Xiansheng, is your unit okay?

[leaveofabsence]

These times and trials are quite different to the battles I am used to.

[ Give him warring gods anyday over this please. ]

[childeishly]

...and that's why I had asked a unitmate of yours to try to look after you, but if they're incapable of even looking after themselves, then my mistake... I know better now.

Come with me, Xiansheng, let me patch you up. [ to a first aid kit!!! ]

[leaveofabsence]

[ To a first aid kit ]

Ah, thank you. You are too kind, Caeli.

[childeishly]

You don't always have to say that, Xiansheng. [ takes a knee and starts rifling through it once he's got it in hand. ] Do you mind sitting?

[leaveofabsence]

Not at all.

[ And he'll take a seat at either a low stone wall or bench, whatever is available. ]

[childeishly]

[ childe takes great care in going over all of the wounds he can find, cleaning them out, and then bandaging them up, but making an effort to keep all that from looking too unsightly because zhonglis covered. ]

I hope you realize, Xiansheng, that after the game I'll be kidnapping you.

[leaveofabsence]

. . .

You probably should not have told me that beforehand if you wished to succeed. Does that not defeat the purpose?

[childeishly]

Not at all. Just keep the kicking and screaming to a minimum. [ laughs. ]

[leaveofabsence]

I will be on my best behavior when thwarting you.

[childeishly]

Ha! Is that a challenge, Xiansheng, because... you’re not going to come out on top~
